Frankie is 7 Months today!!!

Frankie is 7 months today. She slept in and then took a 2 hour nap in her "I love You" Great Apes t-shirt.

After napping we joined Annabelle and Morgan for lunch at Hokayama...that's right Mainers, we had sushi in Kansas, it was surprisingly fresh. Good call Morgan!


After lunch we took a stroll down Massachusetts street in downtown Lawrence. This of course means first stop...in the tea shop for some green tea sourced in Japan of course! Lawrence is a very odd place in KS, but we love it.

We visited "The Toy Store" where Frankie scored two new ugly dolls for her stroller and then at the SportsDome she scored some Jayhawk gear that I can't wait to show a certain UNC Tarheels fan that I know...

The one with the apron is named Minimum Wage...she's an orange cat. Finally, we hit Border's (yes, Mr. M. Herrick we did not go to the local bookstore...) to pick up some winter themed books: Frosty the Snowman board book and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer-- two of my favorite Christmas TV shows when I was a kid.

Back at 720 Justin, we chilled out briefly with Uncle Stanley and Aunt Wendi before heading to Shawnee for another play date with Sarah and Emma. Ben, the two crazy pugs, and the huge cat joined us today.


Emma really liked F's Skip Hop Diaper pouch. She took her first 8 steps she liked it so much. I was hoping that Emma would show F how to crawl. She is still working on it, I guess two new teeth is a lot for a 7 month old.

Sarah showed me the big kid toys...parenthood can be very fun. So many cool toys.


F and E were contemplating what to do with the diaper pouch next...

E went to bed and F, S, and I headed to Jose Peppers for some comida Mexicana!!!!
It was muy excellente.
F had winter squash and prunes...she gave Sarah a kiss for being so awesome, and...

Teaching her how to wave the wheat! Rock Chalk Jayhawk, KU!
